Resident Services Coordination Program

Portsmouth Housing’s Resident Services Coordination (RSC) program works with Portsmouth Housing residents to create individual work plans for residents with respect to employment, education, improving their health and finances, and moving towards independence from subsidy assistance.

The RSC connects residents with local agencies and services to provide resources to assist residents in gaining valuable skills with the goal of achieving self-sufficiency. The RSC coordinates with partners in the community which offer educational programs, services, and activities for Portsmouth Housing residents. Examples of the services available include:

An example of our offerings includes Teen Night Out on Fridays at the Gosling Recreation Center for 13-17 year old residents who can stop by for pizza and games. Click here to see our calendar of programs and events.

In addition, volunteers from New Frontiers Church coordinate a Kids Club for youth residents at the Gosling Recreation Center. Operation Blessing coordinates open recreation time at the Greenleaf Recreation Center for youth residents at Wamesit Place.

During summer break, we work with local food agencies to provide daily lunches for children at the Greenleaf and Gosling Recreation Centers. Seacoast Adopt-A-Block provides a weekly meal for all Wamesit residents. New Frontiers Church provides weekly meals for families at Gosling Meadows.
